COPD
Physiology
•
•
•
•
The lungs are filters
Filter in oxygen
Filter out carbon dioxide
(Vascular filter, not part of this discussion)
Physiology
• Ventilation
• Perfusion
• Diffusion
Anatomy
Inspiration/Expiration
INSPIRATION
Passive Expiration
Forced Expiration
Respiratory bronchiole
Tethering
Normal Conducting System
Alveoli
• Surface area equivalent to that of a tennis
court.
• Very thin.
Alveolar and capillary surface
Perfusion
• Low pressure bed, PA pressure 30/10.
• Approximately 6 billion capillaries in human
lung, or about 2000 per alveolus.
• Under normal (resting) conditions there is
little or no flow to the apices, a waterfall
effect.
Ventilation/Perfusion
• Under normal circumstances the V/Q
(ventilation to perfusion) ratio is 1.
• This is altered with decreased perfusion (PE)
or decreased ventilation (obstructive lung
disease or infiltrative diseases).
Transportation O2
• Primarily by hemoglobulin.
• Very little dissolved in plasma.
Transportation of CO2
•
•
•
•
10% dissolved in plasma.
20 % carried by Hemoglobin.
70% in form of bicarbonate.
CO2 dissociation curve linear.
COPD
•
•
•
•
•
•
Chronic airflow limitation
Airway inflammation
Affects more than 6% of the population
Third leading cause of death in US
Preventable
Treatable
COPD
• Chronic bronchitis-chronic productive cough
for three months in two successive years
• Emphysema-permanent enlargement of
airspaces distal to the terminal bronchioles,
loss of alveolar walls
• “Asthma”-Reversible airflow limitation
Emphysema
Causes
•
•
•
•
•
Smoking-Duration and Amount. PACK YEARS
Threshold? About 25 pack years
Smoking
Smoking
Biomass fuel in developing countries
Incidence
• Overall 6.3% USA
• Higher in men, lower education level and
socioeconomic groups
• Incidence increases with increasing age
• 3rd to 6th leading cause of death
RISK BY AGE
Pathology
•
•
•
•
•
•
Airway limitation-inflammation
Goblet cell hyperplasia
Mucus plugging
Loss of airway tethering
Loss of airway rigidity
Bronchospasm
Normal Airway
Airway narrowing
Symptoms
•
•
•
•
Shortness of breath
Cough, with or without sputum
Wheezing
Chest tightness
Dyspnea
•
•
•
•
•
Lung disease
Heart disease
Circulatory problems
Neuromuscular diseases
Therefore not all dyspnea is due to lung
diseases
Wild Cards
• ACID REFLUX
• 25% of patients with significant reflux have no
reflux symptoms
• Another 25% underestimate the degree of
reflux
• Patients with symptoms have 2x rate of
exacerbations
• Deconditioning
Physical Findings
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Wheezing
Decreased breath sounds
Crackles in bases
Diminished heart sounds
Barrel-shaped chest
Tobacco stained finger tips
Clubbing is rare
Chest X-ray
•
•
•
•
•
•
Normal
Hyperinflation
Bullae
Flattened hemi-diaphragms
Basilar scarring
Unexpected disease-pneumothorax, lung
cancer
Hyperinflation
Pneumothorax
Spirometry
• FEV1-effort dependent
• FVC-effort and time dependent, more than 6
seconds
• FEV1/FVC ratio-less than 70%
• Peak flow-useful for trends, very effort
dependent

•
Grade 0: I only get short of breath with strenuous exercise.
Grade 1: Short of breath hurrying or up slight incline.
Grade 2: I walk slower on level ground as similar aged individuals
or I stop to rest when walking on my own.
Grade 3: I stop for breath when walking 100 meters or after a
few minutes.
Grade 4: I am too breathless to leave the house or I am
breathless dressing or undressing.

RISK
• Related to history of exacerbations
• Group A: Low risk, less symptoms - GOLD 1-2
and 0-1 exacerbations
• Group B: Low risk, More symptoms – GOLD 12 and 0-1 exacerbations
• Group C: High risk, Less symptoms – GOLD 34 and > 2 exacerbations
• Group D: High risk, More symptoms - GOLD 34 and > 2 exacerbations
Exacerbations
•
•
•
•
•
•
Increased dyspnea
Increased cough
Sputum production
+/- fever
+/- chest pain – chest tightness
Median time between onset of symptoms and
onset of treatment 3.69 days
Exacerbation Treatment
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Steroids, oral or IV
Antibiotics, oral or IV
Additional bronchodialators
Hospitalization
Non-invasive ventilation
Ventilation
Over 7% do not return to baseline
Hospitalization
• Mortality > 10%
• Only 75% recover to recent baseline at 5
weeks
• 7% have not recovered baseline at 3 months
• 63% readmitted during following year
• Represents 40-60% of overall cost of care
Hospitalization
• Immobilization
• Sedation
• Hospital acquired conditions
• Fragmentation of care – Medication
reconciliation – cost of medications – followup
• Depression - anxiety
Hospital at Home
•
•
•
•
•
Population health strategy
Competent caregiver available
In a contained geographic area
Dedicated team of doctor(s), nurses, etc.
Daily visits, possibly including phone or
telemedicine visits
• Limited care time frame < 15 days
Smoking Cessation
•
•
•
•
•
•
Without help/nicotine replacement-10%
With help/nicotine replacement-50-60%
ASK – ADVISE – ASSESS – ASSIST- ARRANGE

Too much nicotine causes nausea
Decreased airflow + smoking
• Progressive lung disease
• 25 times normal risk for heart attack or stroke
• 8 times risk for lung, laryngeal, esophageal,
stomach, kidney, bladder, oral and pancreatic
cancer

Self Management Strategies
• Education-Behavioral support-Motivational support –
to promote behavioral changes:
• 1. Improved medication adherence.
• 2. Smoking cessation.
• 3. Vaccinations.
• 4. Regular bronchodialator use.
• 5. Proper inhaler technique.
